I have lived in warmer climates - and closely related to agriculture - since moving from Wisconsin. Believe me, there are places that get MUCH hotter in the summer. I've got the best of both worlds now - It's considered a hot day when it goes up to 85 degrees - and we consider it brrrrrrrr cold if it goes below freezing in the winter. Regardless, the M still leaks oil.. in the two places your A leaks.
